Tottenham will block any attempt from Manchester United to sign Harry Kane this summer.

Spurs are determined to keep hold of the England international, who has emerged as a target for Louis van Gaal .

It is understood that no approach has been made by United - but with executive vice chairman Ed Woodward promising Van Gaal a squad capable of challenging on all fronts next season, Kane is under consideration.

But Tottenham insiders say there is no chance of them selling their 21-year-old striker, who has scored 30 goals this season, according to the Manchester Evening News .

They are also adamant that they will resist moves for goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, who has been touted as a replacement for David de Gea if the Spaniard leaves Old Trafford for Real Madrid.

United are working through an extensive list of names as they look to challenge Chelsea for the Premier League title next season.

They are also determined to make an impression in Europe on their return to the Champions League.

Gareth Bale is being pursued, despite the £25m signing of Memphis Depay, and Mats Hummels is the world class centre back Van Gaal wants to bring to the club.

The Dutch manager also intends to secure a top quality midfield enforcer and a right back.

Woodward outlined his plans to give Van Gaal a squad capable of competing with the best when announcing United’s latest quarterly results.

“The squad will be absolutely deep enough and ready to challenge on all fronts, all competitions next year,” he said.

“We have already started implementing our plans, and last week announced that Memphis Depay, who is one of the most exciting young players in Europe, will be joining our first-team.

“We expect to be active again during the window, but it is too early to give guidance on transfers or wages at this point.”
